Because of this, large supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda and Morrisons will have to close their doors for the day in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Large shops that continue to operate despite being larger than 280 square metres in size can receive a fine.
This does not apply to Scotland however, as there are no restrictions on trading over Bank Holidays.
Retailers whose stores do not exceed 280 square metres in size will be allowed to open.
This is because these are considered small shops. It means that smaller versions of supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s local will be allowed to open on Easter Sunday.
Other stores are not mandated to close on this day, but may choose to in order to provide their staff with an extra day off.
